The Future of TV: Changes to the Entertainment Landscape

“TV is broken. Well, not strictly speaking, but the way we interact with our TVs is terribly outdated…” — David Pierce, PC Magazine. The interfaces we have had to use to simply watch TV are not only outdated, they actually interfere with the way we access our content. Channels are irrelevant, multiple sources and remote controls are confusing, and grid-based guides that list lines and lines of disconnected programming numb your brain.

Join Thiru Arunachalam and Bala Krishnan, co-founders of Peel, for a discussion of the second screen interface and how it provides an opportunity to change the way we interact with television.
